Notaro's has been a special favorite for the five years I've lived in the area. This is where I take any new visitors to New York. A week ago I had a surprise birthday dinner party for my wife at Notaro's, and Angelo the owner, Peter, our favorite server, and all the Notaro's staff made it a great celebration. I'm going back in another week for a dinner with a group of colleagues.

Visited here with tourists and they loved the price fix menu and price. Portions were huge and they enjoyed their meals. Personally, I thought the taste could be better. Service was great and you could actually hear your conversation. This is a great find!

I have only gotten delivery from here so I can't comment on the ambiance or service. However, the gentleman on the phone was great and my delivery was on my doorstep no later than 15 minutes after I hung up the phone. The food (a delicious dish of gnocchi) was still piping hot when it got to me. A bonus - the containers they give are reusable as tupperware :)

My mom and I returned this evening to Notaro after not having been in several years (I used to live in the neighborhood) and I must say, the food and prices were just as great as always. The food is delicious, and their are certainly a lot of options, including a ton of specials. We went in for the "early bird dinner" and for around 20 dollars you get an appetizer, entree, dessert and coffee--very few places in the city offer such a deal on food that is of such high quality. The portions are truly generous as well. What is really a standout, however, is the staff. They are extremely welcoming and make the experience very warm and cozy. My mom and I will be back - it's the perfect place for an intimate dinner with family and friends!

Great food, great prices, beautiful room...a real find in NYC. Has one of the largest menus around and eveything I've had has been superb and I've been going about once a month for about two years. Tuesday nights even have music - a whole evening of fun. Great service as well.

I love Notaro's I love the food,the people, the ambiance. The staff is great and treat their guests so well.
The pricies are terrific and the quality is just as terrific. On Tuesday nights Sandy Jordan, a wonderful singer and entertainer, hosts a fabulous night of jazz and singing. The Larry Luger Trio plays all evening and they are top-notch musicians. Guest singers come in each Tuesday and add to the fun.
Notaro's is a restaurant where I can relax, eat great food, and enjoy a wonderful night out.

An amazing restaurant! The food was amazing. A delight and complement to Northern Italian cuisine. The restaurant was quiet and serene, quite typical for a Wednesday night almost anywhere in the city, but this restaurant shined to present it's self as the 5 star restaurant it is. Their dirty grey goose martini was top notch and their service was even better. The waiter made my girlfriend and I feel as if we were the most important customers there. It was also my birthday, and we were served a tiramisu that was amazing, all while the waiter, manager, and maitre'd wished me many more birthdays. Not only a must try for anyone in the Murray Hill area, but also for the entire city. They have made a patron for life!

A friend invite me to dinner and he decided on Notaro because it was convinient for him, after dinner to take the midtown tunnel to his home in Long Island.
It was a Tuesday night, and what a surprise, the food, the service were excellent. Then the "shot in the arm", they had live music. A great Jazz group, guitar, base, drums and a fabulous singer named Sandy Jordan! And for the price!!! There is nothing in or around Manhattan like this.
Since, I have been back several times on Tuesdays to eat great food and listen to great music.
Hope they continue it.

We have been going to Notaro for 10 years and love it. A few years back they added music on Tuesday nights. We go there as many Tuesdays as we can to hear our favorite Gershwin and all the top American Songbook hits .......The Trio is fantastic and the singer Sandy one of the best I have ever heard. Famous folk drop in also and sing. We caught Jane Powell a year back.

You have to go and hear them and order the fish, or the pasta, the steak and do not forget dessert. The food and service is excellent. The price is right. See you at Notaro

I discovered this restaurant through a business contact 3 years back. I since bring all my business friends and family here for dinner. The food si consistantly very good. I love their fish and ask the waiter Peter what is special for the night. I am never disappointed. The music on Tuesday nights is the best deal in the city. The Larry Luger Trio plays there and are topnotch. The singer Sandy Jordan is so good she should be famous. She has friends who drop by and sing also and they are all so good it is amazing to see so much talent in one room. I try not to let a Tuesday go by without a dinner at Notaro. The host Angelo is the best and the service always gracious and really good.

Everything from the decor to the service makes Notaro?s my absolute favorite Italian restaurant. I take everyone I love. The Notaro experience begins with a warm greeting by staff at the door. I personally love to sit at the back area next to the fireplace (this can very romantic when with a significant other, and is very cozy with family and friends). One of my favorite dishes is the Shrimp Scampi followed closely by Bocconcino de Pollo. And to satisfy my sweet tooth, I have the tiramisu. Exquisite! Notaro has unbeatable prix lunch and dinner menus (with a new early dinner menu from 4-6:30) that are comprised of a great assortment of selections (meat, chicken, seafood). Everyone makes a genuine effort to make your experience satisfying. The truth is that Notaro has left a lasting impression, because no other restaurant compares with the quality of food and service that Notaro offers. I definatley recommend Notaro?s to everyone. Enjoy!

The food, the service the ambiance are wonderful. It is always comfortable friendly and on Mondays and Tuesday they offer really great entertainment. A singer named Sandy Jordan sings with top of the line musicians and brings in her singer friends. One better than the other. We try not to let a week go by without dropping by on a monday or tuesday. Last winter met the famous Jane Powell there.We never know who we will get a chance to meet. Love their fish dishes, pastas and the filet is the greatest ever.

As military personel i rarely get to enjoy such a calm and friendly enviroment from the owner to the staff, excellent food, service and exquisite detail with in the restaurant atmosphere. As a person that moves around alot and has a hectic lifestyle i really recommend notaro as a get away spot for a couple of hours. plus their calamari limone as well as their cacciuco alla toscana which is seafood is excellent

This restaurant is unbelievable. The service is excellent and we were attended promply. Their food is out of this world. They know how to set the mood and I highly recommend anyone to try this restaurant. Although I had one of the chef's specials, the white ruffy, their price fixe is a steal. You get soup, salad, a choice of a main coarse, with a choice of dessert and coffe or tea. They make you feel right at home.
